my services
My birth doula services include a complimentary interview in person, unlimited telephone support, 24/7 on-call commitment, prearranged doula backup, and resources throughout the length of my services.
I like to have two prenatal visits with my clients where I really get to know you and your hopes, concerns and preferences about your birth and early postpartum period. I join you whenever and wherever you need support, and stay with you continuously until you are settled after birth and everyone (including baby!) is eating. I work alongside your chosen clinical caregivers respectfully and confidently.
Our first postpartum visit in the first few days after birth includes breastfeeding support, practical help and mentoring. Following this visit I am available for support over the phone and check in with my clients often in the first weeks. The notes that I take during the birth can help you to preserve your own memories of the experience and I share these with you at a final postpartum visit within a month of the birth.
Currently my birth doula fee is a sliding scale- $900-1400. It is collected in two parts- a Retainer fee of $400 secures my availability, covers all scheduled visits and 24 hr on-call commitment to you and your family. The remainder of $500-1000 is the Birth fee and covers everything else. You decide how much to pay after the birth. Click here for more info about a doula’s fees.
